Scored a new set of Kumho Ecsta V710 tires on ebay yesterday. excited to get these in! heres a little info and pics:
Designed specifically for racing in dry conditions, the Ecsta V710 has a "racing slick" tread surface with two circumferential grooves necessary for DOT (Department of Transportation) street use approval. The Ecsta V710 has been a proven winner in SCCA road racing and autocross events throughout the U.S. and Canada. Tested to meet all DOT standards, the Ecsta V710 is certified for use in all SCCA showroom stock classes where a race compound DOT tire is allowed.

SPECIAL FEATURES
•ARC compounding technology for superior traction and handling.
•Two steel belts for excellent cornering and an updated compound that focuses on grip.
•Minimum tread grooving (two circumferential grooves molded at 4/32") for ultimate cornering power.
•Asymmetric tread pattern for efficient water evacuation on damp surfaces.
•Two durable nylon cap plies give high-speed stability and resistance to centrifugal forces.
•High ply turn-up and additional nylon reinforcement provide stiff sidewall construction.
•UTQG rating of 30 C/A.

Do you even road race your car?

school boy

the car is setup for open track events. bad thing about it, indianapolis is the closest track since the one in sparta ky was closed and this car has never been on a track. the corvette museum in bowlingreen ky is in the process of building a road course. the car WILL BE TRACKED HARD when the BG track is opened! i got them for 260 shipped. i was just putting in a low bid. im not even sure i'll keep them or trade them off for a track/street tire

Whats the production date on the tires? That will be able to tell you if you'll be able to get anything out of them. If they are over a year or two old, then you may have trouble finding someone that would usually use them to buy them. Racers don't like to use tires that are over a couple years old.

School Boy, take a pic of the other side of the tire (the DOT # details) and post them so see what age the tires are. You have a pic of a partial DOT #. The date info will be on the other sidewall.
